A few weeks ago I told you to stop doing only the overhead press if your OHP had stalled. We spoke about variations and their uses. Fresh off of a 4 week block of doing variations, I've been reminded of 5 big tips to a MUCH stronger overhead press. We're going to talk a little physics, some technique improvements and the concept of stacking.
If you enjoy these one take technique videos, give the video a like and let me know what exercise you want to see next!
Thoughts on having the wrists in a fixed straight position? I focus on that for all my lifts and have no wrists issues. My workout partner on the other hand has wrist issues and feels he needs wrist wraps for benchpress and military press – he has the same grip position as you.
I dont care about max OHP as I am a powerlifter but I need to do them to boost my benchpress. What rep range is the best for this? I would assume a higher rep range but I'm not familiar with OHP so I dont know.
I've also gradually fallen in love with the OHP. It's awesome for both strength and hypertrophy, great for powerbuilding programs (I especially like how Brian Alsruhe does it with Giant sets/Super sets in a mix between a modified Conjugate method style and Berkhan's "Lean Gains" style, body building and strong man – works great and adds a lot of fun to the gym. Becomes kind of a powerbuilding with slight strong man orientation and in my opinion the most well rounded athletic type of training getting the best of all worlds almost like crossfit 😉 )

I just want someone to combine the part where you say stacking with the meme where the dude is throwing up gang signs in a barber shop
Is 170 pound overhead press good for 154 pound BW?
Have a spotter stand behind you pushing on your back as you press. That way your body won’t be pushed backwards. It’s a good fix.
This is good, thanks for covering this! Stacking, got it.
Knees locked?
It's hard to squeeze the glutes, when they are bent.

nice chest brother
Why don’t you do it seated?
looking fking JUICY, would smash 10/10
No amount of lateral side raises seemed to affect my delts ….
I tried this overhead press once (done correctly) and I felt my shoulders for the first time.
Best shoulder exercise that i ever practise
LARGE BOIS!!! Crush that 150lb twig with a massive rock
How is that mic staying on!? 🤔
that is honestly high testosterone you never seen a chest with this much hair
me just cut my chest-hair and still much more than yours 😀
Dafuq is that microphone clipped to?
Omar the type of guy to train his calves with overhead presses.
Anyone ever make a bar using "trap bar" logic so that you dont have to lift the bar around your face?
my ohp is 65kg while my bench is 125kg what a joke i am
I can bench 315 but can barely get 1 rep of 135 ohp help😂😭

Can’t emphasize how much flexing your glutes helps. Clench them cheeks, bois.
im stuck at 20kg ohp on my 5×5 and failed it twice… hope this will help
